Leader: Ryan V.

Location: Bagels & Brew on Lake Forest Dr between Serrano Rd and Trabuco Rd. 21771 Lake Forest Dr #100, Lake Forest, CA 92630

Directions: From the 5 freeway, exit Lake Forest Drive and head east (toward the mountains ~2.4 miles from the freeway exit).

About the Run: We will run from Bagels & Brew out on Serrano Rd west to Serrano Park, and through the park to Bake Parkway (about 1 mile). Turn right for about 40 feet and go right again on the Serrano Creek Trail so you will be heading eastbound. The trail reaches Trabuco Rd in roughly 1 mile and Whiting Ranch in 4 miles. From there you can turn around or add miles in Whiting Ranch. There are restrooms and a water fountain at the 4.5 mile mile point at the Etnies Skatepark.

Most of the run will be on a dirt fire road that is fairly wide open, with a slight uphill grade going up towards Whiting and downhill on the way back.

After the run: Bagels & Brew has good food and coffee with an outdoor patio. There’s also a Royal Pastries & Donuts on the other side of Trabuco Road.
